The X-Com games have always had some form of body armour available
or the soldiers in the game.

Now someone has actually made such a personal armour.
When I viewed the image in the article, I thought of X-Com. :-)=

And it cost $15,000 to build? That's 33% under-budget! Of
course, it took him two years to build, which I guess isn't that bad if
he's working 10 hours a week and not all the time (that's 80 weeks).

Now, of course, we have to add bears to the game.

Paint it red and you've got the basic armour in X-Com Apoc.

Bring on the Celatids!
